baby movements

I have noticed the movements decreasing during the day and active for about 2-3 hours constant. I am 36+4. Is it normal to decrease that much? Baby used to move all the time the day before and before that a whole lot. What do y'all think?

Your baby is having less and less room in the womb so they do slow down on their movement. If you are concerned though then you should call your ob/gyn or midwife.

But it's like no movement during the day and when about 9:30pm hits, he moves 2-3 hours constantly. Then stops. If he sleeps this much outside of womb, id be terrified!

It sounds like your baby is starting to practicing for life out of the womb. Taking naps and waking up to stretch, eat, potty and back to sleep again.
